Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji has said that Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem “can say what he wants” about the so-called “army-people-resistance” equation but added that “the Lebanese people no longer want this outdated equation.”
“He certainly does not want to give up his weapons, but eventually he must find a solution,” Rajji said in an interview with the al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper.
“This is an outlaw armed group and it is not legitimate. We ask it to seek a solution, hand over its weapons and form a normal political party that has the creed it wants. I support total creed freedom and let its fighters return to their normal life and each member to his job,” the minister added.
